“…Communication and coordination are more complex in DAD projects than for the same projects in The approach, we presented here, is to move any coordination needs from the team level to the architecture [31]. DAD should have a communication system that could continuously feed DAD teams with holistic architectural and strategic information to keep them on track [37]. DAD teams need to be decoupled as much as possible regarding design rules and organizational structure.…”

Agile methods depend on active communication and effective knowledge sharing among team members for producing high quality working software systems in short releases and iterations. However, effective communication in Distributed Agile Development (DAD) can be challenging due to a number of different factors, such as physical locations, multi-cultures and time-zones. The agile body of knowledge mainly discusses some technology and non-technology solutions and strategies to mitigate the DAD communication challenges from a project management perspective. Nevertheless, it has recently been argued that there is a need to understand and analyze DAD communication from other related but different perspectives, such as enterprise strategy, enterprise architecture and service management. Due to the fact that agile EA provides a holistic view and blueprint of the whole environment in which a number of projects are developed and managed, we attempt in this study to explore the effect of agile Enterprise Architecture (EA) on DAD communication. Particularly, we propose the development of an agile EA driven approach from the architecture body of knowledge for handling the DAD communication challenges that have not been thoroughly investigated before.

“…Set of synonyms, called synSet, should be formed for each concept of both metamodels. Each concept in one metamodel and all of its synonyms is then compared with each concept and all of its synonyms of the other metamodel using the following equation (2). M is the matrix containing the SSM values of all synonyms for both concepts C 1 and C 2 .…”

“…The modern distributed and complex enterprise agile software development requires the need for establishing an agile or adaptive holistic enterprise architecture (EA) capability [1], [2]. An adaptive EA capability is important for proactively scanning the operating environment and for seeking any changes or opportunities for improvement and development in the context of enterprise agile software delivery [3], [4].…”

Agile or adaptive enterprise architecture driven software development approach requires a modelling standard to describe the existing and to-be developed artifacts both at the high enterprise level and low, detailed level. However, a single modelling standard may not be used off-the-shelf to fully support the modelling needs of an adaptive enterprise architecture driven software development needs. The modelling standards need to be systematically analyzed and integrated for a particular modelling context. This paper reviews two well-known modeling standards ArchiMate and BPMN by using the interoperability research framework. Based on the syntax, semantics and structural analysis of these two modelling standards' metamodels, it proposes a hybrid adaptive enterprise architecture modelling approach for describing and analysing the artifacts both at the high enterprise level and low, detailed level for a particular context. This paper has both theoretical and practical implications for researchers and practitioners pursuing to integrate various modelling standards.

“…They found that organizational culture and the empowerment of the project teams were indicators of project development agility. Hoda et al (2013), Gill (2014), and Stettina & Horz (2015) discussed the notion of self-organizing teams, agility of people, processes, tools, and consideration of a revised culture. Stettina and Horz interviewed 30 participants from 14 European software development organizations and found that agile methods empowered team members to take-on tasks that are traditionally performed by project managers, such as coordinating their own work.…”

A Human Factors Study of Risk Management of Complex Agile Scrum Projects in Large Enterprises

Agile Project Management methods have gained phenomenal success in the IT software world in managing projects of high complexity and uncertainty. However, Agile projects come with their unique set of risks. This paper seeks to explore the risks posed by human factors to complex Agile Scrum projects in large enterprises. Project Risk Management is crucial in determining the future performance of a complex project. Increasing project complexity makes it more and more difficult to anticipate potential events that could affect the project and to make effective decisions to reduce project risk exposure. This is even more true for Agile projects that promote immediate and frequent visibility of risk factors and distributed decision making in projects. A dominant reason for failure of complex Agile projects are the risks caused by human and organization factors. This paper will analyze the delivery risks posed by human factors and the traditionally hierarchical decision making in large enterprise systems.
